Choosing a home inspector can be difficult, because you probably won’t meet the inspector you’ve hired until your appointment. Ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home. My promise is that I will give you my very best effort.
